New EV Battery Promises Low-Cost, 300-Mile

Envia’s research was funded by the venture-capital arm of General Motors, GM Ventures, which may mean that GM would get first dibs on this “breakthrough” technology. This technology could cut the cost of batteries in half, which alone would make EV’s more palatable to a larger segment of the population. But in addition, this technology can store three-times as much energy as current battery pack technology, which could yield as much as 300 miles of driving range.
